yeah if the oil was in there then 12/12 warranty should cover the work.

Do you know if that includes labor too?? I honestly think I have a right to demand another free diagnosis at this point considering I've replaced every coil and the problem which was diagnosed as a bad coil is still there.

I am certain it does but you might have to fight the hard fight to get the diag FOC, free of charge. I do not have my work orders with me but I will check tomorrow to confirm labor and parts. Ya know if you took it in for misfire and they didn't get it right I would think the diag should be FOC. All they can say is no; just be clear that the reason it is back is becasue their fix did not address your concern or failed to continue to work properly that it recurred.

Well, just dropped it off at the dealership this morning. The shop foreman went for a ride with me and the car performed as advertised, and he says to me (while his foot is planted to the floor and the car is sitting at 4000 RPM and holding speed, not going anywhere fast) "Man, I wish I could have seen it do this last time it was in."
Maybe we'll get somewhere this time.

It would be worth paying someone to obseve the dealer when the car goes in for diag. I bet more time than none they pull some grass from the ground throw it to the wind and decide what the problem is based on which way the grass falls.

Well, I'm probably only going to go home with a written diagnosis and go from there on my own. I don't have the cashola to pay the dealerships labor rater or parts prices right now when I can get parts much cheaper and my labor consists of my own knuckle-blood. Hopefully I get a call today, but then again, hopefully not. I'm expecting the call to come in as "Hey, your fuel pump/booster pump/REM is bad."
